Aher that. Hendrix was kicked out of the car.
Heures was bewildered. He thought. “Sebastian is acting like a thing?”
The man in the driver seat narrowed his eyes slightly and drove toward the cemetery in

Madeline placed her mother’s favorite Blower near the tombstone and bent over to wipe the headrone with her sleeves.
Dad. Mom. Tin Leme. I’m here to see you two, vaid Madeline.
The photos in the tombstone made her feel like time had stopped at the time when her parents looked y
Maleise lowered her gaze, allowing her tears to flow down her cheeks.
She did not amend her parents funeral. She did not even know what was in
grave
“Mom, Dad. Don’t worry I’m tough. I’ll find the cadence and make them pay the price,” Madeline said
After that Madeline knelt before her parents‘ tombstones and prostrated three times.
Not fir away, the man slightly parsed his lips, a tinge of complexity in his deep eyes.
Sebastian did not know why he came here.
He wondered, “Am I only here to look at her? That seems a little unreasonable.”
Sebastian was holding a black umbrella. He wanted to open it to keep Madeline off the rain, but when he saw Madeline get up, he deliberately dodged.
In the mist, Madeline also saw the flashy red car. The car was so eye–catching that it was difficult to go unnoticed.
Madeline withdrew her sight indifferently.
“Maddie, let’s go.” Louis got off the car, held the umbrella above her head, and draped his roat over her body.
Madeline nodded. Louis, can I open the coffin!”
Louis was startled “Ms. Jennings, what are you trying to do!”
Madeline pursed her lips and said, “I want to confirm whether my parents are inside. I don’t believe that.. I don’t believe that they re truly gone
Back then, the bridge was on fire. It was said that her parents bodies were not found. Since she had escaped, she thought her parents might have
made it out too
“I believe your parents wouldn’t want to see you like this. They’re gone. Maddie, let them go and press forward” Louis sighed and parted the girl on the back.
He was the only one who knew that Madeline was only pretending to be tough.
Madeline smiled slightly, “Okay”
She muttered inwardly, “Tille
“III leave you two alone and let you both rest in peace?
Before she got in the car, Madeline glanced at the tombstones again. Her mother was smiling.
When Sebastian saw the man who suddenly appeared, he gripped the steering wheel even tighter, and the muscle lines of his forearm wer exposed
He wondered, “What’s di
the relationship between Louns and Madeline!”
Sebastian’s eyes were bloodshot as he watched them get in the car. Moreover, he watched as Madeline got in the passenger seat.
Sebastian took his phone and said. “Look into the relationship between the Coleman family and the Jennings family!”
Nolan was rendered speechless upon receiving the phone call.
He wondered. “Is Mr. Faraday out of his mind! He doesn’t care about the stock market and wants me to look into the Coleman family instead?”

There was only one hotel with only a couple room left,
Lous smiled briplemly. “Maddie, do you mind if we share the
the same room!”
Muideline spread her hands and said. “Why don’t you sleep in the car?”
Loun robed his eyes. He knew that Madeline was an ungrateful person
someone happened to check out just now. There’s a room available. Do you want it the customer service guy asked with a smile amer
that someone had made a checkout
The two of them spoke at the same time.
The former was said by Madeline
Madeline looked at Louis dangerously “Lou, what are you trying to do?”
Lous smiled awkwardly “Maddie, I’m worried that it’s unsafe for you to stay here alone. I can at least protect you if I’m around you”
Madeline rolled her eyes and said. “You don’t have to worry about me
Madeline took her keycard and went upstairs to the couple room without hesitation.
She thought. “It feels so good to have the entire bed to myself”
Madeline heard the door ring as soon as she finished her shower. She thought Louis had ordered takeout for her, so she opened the door excitedly
However, the umile on her face froze when she saw the man, who was soaked in rainwater, standing at the door.
Sebastian was wet all over, and the water droplets at the tips of his hair dripped down from his cheek to his Adini’s apple.
Even in such a situation, he still did not look like a mess. He was born with a noble temperament, and his defined facial features made him look an charming as always.
A cold breeze blew on Madeline. She could not help but wrap herself in a bath towel.
“Mr. Faraday, did you enter the wrong room?” Madeline looked away and pretended to be calm.
Sebastian Adams apple rolled slightly as he looked at Madeline body wrapped in a bath towel.
He had never realized that Madeline had such a good gure that could easily arouse his desire.
“No” Sebastian spede before lie realized his voice had already liecome hoarse.
There is no room left. Can I stay y with you?” Sebastian pursed his lips and said, embarrassed.
Madelior was stunned in she thought. “What is be talking about?”
“We’ve divorced. I dont think it’s appropriate for us to stay in the same room” Madeline frowned.

ivanting to lose her patience.
She was tired and wanted to sleep.
“Please let me stay for one night. I caught a fever. Sebastian coughed slightly. He looked as if he was sick,
Madeline looked up at him carefully and found the man’s cheeks were slightly red,
Madeline opened the door and said, “Come on in. You’ll sleep on the floor.”
After all, they used to be a married couple. Although Sebastian treated her poorly in the past, she could not just leave him in the lurch.
Madeline s strength was her compassion
“Sure.” Sebastian’s heart palpitated when he smelled the faint fragrance around Madeline as he walked into the room.
Madeline laid a blanket on the floor and then threw the quilt on the ground to let Sebastian sleep on the floor
She thought. “Tm a girl. It’s unfair for me to sleep on the ground, right?”
What are you doing here?” Madeline asked after she turned off the lights.
In the darkness, Sebastian paused before slowly answering. “I’m here for business.”
When she got her answer, Madeline turned her body over and fell asleep. Her little face faced the window.
She did not know Sebastian had been looking at her on the bed under the moonlight for a long time before he closed his eyes
Soon, it was midnight.
In the surveillance cameras room of the hotel, Madeline fell silent as she skillfully controlled the computer and looked at the monitoring equipment
She wondered. “Sebastian did enter the hotel earlier than me. Is he truly here for business?”
In the next scene, Madeline saw the checkout record with Sebastian’s checkout.
Madeline gave a mocking smile. She thought. “Sebastian really spent a lot of effort investigating me.”
